Hey frik, former Uber engineer here. I never worked on Jaeger, but I loved using it at Uber. If you want to get started, the documentation is at http://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ http://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ We also have a blog post that describes the history of Jaegar and some of the design decisions. https://eng.uber.com/distributed-tracing/ https://eng.uber.com/distributed-tracing/ Jaegar is compatible with the OpenTracing standard ( http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/supported-tracers http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/supported-tracers ) and is also compatible with the Zipkin backend and wire protocol ( http://zipkin.io/ http://zipkin.io/ ).
